and to add Section 100.7 to the Revenue and Taxation Code, relating
to redevelopment.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 971, Olberg.  Redevelopment.
   (1) Existing law specifies payments of tax revenue that the
redevelopment agency for the March Air Force Base Project Area is
required to make to other agencies.
   This bill would provide that the March Joint Powers Redevelopment
Agency is not obligated to make those payments to the County of
Riverside, the County Free Library Fund, and the County Fire Fund,
and instead shall make payments required under a specified
cooperative agreement entered into with the County of Riverside and
the March Joint Powers Authority.
   (2) Existing law authorizes a redevelopment plan or amendment of a
plan adopted on or after July 1, 1993, with respect to a project
area within or in proximity to certain military bases that are
subject to closure, to use the year of adoption or the 1994-95 fiscal
year as the base year for purposes relating to determining the
fiscal impact on the state of adjusting the base year.
   This bill would, in addition, apportion property tax revenues to
the Victor Valley Economic Development Authority based upon a
calculation that would change the base year for the George Air Force
Base Project Area to the 1997-98 fiscal year, as provided.  By
imposing new duties in the apportionment of ad valorem property tax
revenues, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
  (3) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse
local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state.  Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement, including the creation of a State Mandates Claims Fund
to pay the costs of mandates that do not exceed $1,000,000 statewide
and other procedures for claims whose statewide costs exceed
$1,000,000.
   This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates
determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these
statutory provisions.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 33492.86 of the Health and Safety Code is
amended to read:
   33492.86.  (a) This section shall apply to a redevelopment project
area the territory of which includes March Air Force Base, that is
adopted pursuant to a redevelopment plan that contains the provisions
required by Section 33670, and that is adopted pursuant to this
chapter.  The redevelopment agency shall make the payments to
affected school districts and community college districts required by
subdivision (a) of Section 33607.5, except that each of the time
periods governing the payments shall be calculated from the date the
county auditor makes the certification to the Director of Finance
pursuant to Section 33492.9 instead of from the first fiscal year in
which the agency receives tax-increment revenue.
   (b) (1) Pursuant to Section 33492.3, the March Air Force Base
Project Area adopted pursuant to this article may include all, or any
portion of, property within the military base that the federal Base
Closure and Realignment Commission has voted to realign when that
action has been sustained by the President and the Congress of the
United States, regardless of the percentage of urbanized land, as
defined in Section 33320.1, within the military base.
   (2) (A) Pursuant to Section 33492.3, the March Air Force Base
Project Area may include territory outside the military base.  The
project area shall be entirely contained within a one-mile perimeter
of the boundaries of March Air Force Base, as those boundaries exist
on January 1, 1995.  At no time shall the aggregate acreage of the
project area outside the boundaries of March Air Force Base, as those
boundaries exist on January 1, 1995, exceed 2 percent of the total
acreage contained within that one-mile perimeter, and these areas may
only be included in the project area upon a finding of benefit to
the March Air Force Base Project Area and with the concurrence of the
legislative bodies of the County of Riverside, the City of Moreno
Valley, the City of Perris, and the City of Riverside.
   (B) The agency for the March Air Force Base Project Area may, with
the concurrence of the relevant legislative body pursuant to
subparagraph (B), pay for all or a part of the value of land and the
cost of the installation and construction of any structure or
facility or other improvement that is publicly owned outside the
jurisdiction of the agency, if the legislative body of the agency
determines all of the following:
   (i) That the structure, facility, or other improvement is of
benefit to the project area.
   (ii) That no other reasonable means of financing the facilities,
structures, or improvements are available to the community.
   (iii) That the payment of funds for the acquisition of land or the
cost of facilities, structures, or other improvements will assist in
the elimination of one or more blight conditions, as identified
pursuant to Section 33492.83, inside the project area, or provide
housing for low- or moderate-income persons.
   (C) Concurrence of the relevant legislative body shall be
demonstrated by the adoption of an ordinance by the community where
the structure, facility, or other improvement is to be located which
authorizes the redevelopment of the area within its territorial
limits by the redevelopment agency for the March Air Force Base
Project Area.
   (D) All projects authorized by this subdivision shall be within
communities which are contiguous to the March Air Force Base Project
Area.
   (c) Notwithstanding subdivision (a) of Section 33492.15 or any
other provision of law, the March Joint Powers Redevelopment Agency
shall not be obligated to make any payments required by subdivision
(a) of Section 33942.15 to the County of Riverside, the County Free
Library Fund, and the County Fire Fund.  Instead, the March Joint
Powers Redevelopment Agency shall be required to make those payments
required under the Cooperative Agreement entered into among the
County of Riverside, the March Joint Powers Authority, and the March
Joint Powers Redevelopment Agency dated August 20, 1996, as that
agreement may be amended from time to time.
  SEC. 2.  Section 100.7 is added to the Revenue and Taxation Code,
to read:
   100.7.  Notwithstanding any other law, commencing with the
1999-2000 fiscal year, the apportionment of property tax revenues in
the County of San Bernardino shall be modified as follows:
   (a) The auditor shall apportion an amount of property tax revenues
to the Victor Valley Economic Development Authority that is equal to
the amount that would be allocated to that authority if the base
year for the George Air Force Base Project Area was changed to the
1997-98 fiscal year for purposes of Part 1 (commencing with Section
33000) of Division 24 of the Health and Safety Code.
   (b) The auditor shall reduce the amount of property tax revenues
apportioned to all other jurisdictions within the George Air Force
Base Project Area on a pro rata basis in an amount equal to the
amount apportioned under subdivision (a).
   (c) On or before June 30, 2004, and on or before June 30 of each
fifth year thereafter, the Victor Valley Economic Development
Authority shall remit to the Controller an amount of money equal to
the amount of the increased aid provided by the state to school
entities as a result of this section, plus interest.  The interest
shall accrue until the payment is made.  The rate of interest shall
be the rate of interest on the bonds of the authority.  If there are
no bonds, the rate of interest shall be the rate of interest earned
by the Pooled Money Investment Board.  The Department of Finance
shall determine the amount to be remitted, after consultation with
the authority.
  SEC. 3.  Notwithstanding Section 17610 of the Government Code, if
the Commission on State Mandates determines that this act contains
costs mandated by the state, reimbursement to local agencies and
school districts for those costs shall be made pursuant to Part 7
(commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of the
Government Code.  If the statewide cost of the claim for
reimbursement does not exceed one million dollars ($1,000,000),
reimbursement shall be made from the State Mandates Claims Fund.
